The High License Bill in New York.

The high license bill introduced in the
Assembly at Albany by Ernest H. Crosby
is practical and in the main well-con-
sidered measure. 1t provides for six classes
of licenses, ranging between LOCO for the
ordinary saloon and $40 tor drug stores
The general principle of imposing the
heaviest tax upon the most mischieYous
machinery for the sale OF liquors is ad-
hered to, the license for selling malt bever-
ages being but half the amount of the
liquor license. But at this point there is.
we think, room for some notifications.
The argument upon which such measures
as this are justified is, that since it is not
practicable to enforce prohibitory laws in
great cities the one wise and statesman
like course is 10 regulate and restrain the
traffic. and do whatever is feasible toward
diverting the public taste from the more
harmful to the least harmful drinks.
Whatever tends to lessen the consumption
OF spirits is benehcient. Now experience
shows tina. the more beer is consumed the
less whisky is used, and the change from
alcoholic to malt beverages is in the direct
interest of temperance.
But if high license as practical policy
rests on the impossibilitv OF enforcing more
drastic measures, it is evident that high Ii
cense itself requires to be applied as
regulatiye and not as prohibitory law, for
otherwise it will encounter the evasion and
defiance which have always been the fate
of prohibitiye statutes in large cities If
this reasoning be sound, it follows that the
license upon the sale of malt liquors should
be proportionately lew, and Mr.. Crosby's
bill. we think, errs ID putting the rate too
high. OF course. the question is not al all
of what the friends OF temperance would
ike if they could have their way. The

The reduction of internal revenue and
the taking off of revenue stamps from pro-
prietary medicines, no doubt has largely
benefited the consumers, as well as reliev-
ing the burden of home manufacturers.
Especially is this the case with Green's Au-
gust Flotper and BoSchee's German Syrup, as
the reduction of thirty-six cents per dozen
has been added to increase the size of the
bottles containing these remedies, thereby
giving one-fifth more medicine in the 10
cent size. The august Flotcer for dyspepsia
and Liver Complaint. and the German
Syrup for Cough and Lung troubles, have
perhaps the largest sale of any medicines
in the world. The advantage OF increased
size of the bottles will be greatly appreci-
ated by the sick and afflicted in every town
and village in civilized countries. Sample
bottles, for 10 cents, remain the same size.

ELI Perkins, Book Agent.

A Philadelphia book agent importuned
James Watson, a rich and close New \ ork
man, living out at Elizabeth, until he
bought book-the Early Christian Mar
tyrs" Mr. Watson didn't want the book,
but he bought it to get rid of the agent;
then, taking it under his arm, he started
for the train which takes him to his New
York Office.
Mr. Watson hadn't been gone long be-
fore Mrs. Watson came home from a
neighbours. The book agent saw her, and
went in and persuaded the wife
to buy another copy of the same
book. She was ignorant of the fact that
her husband had bought the same book in
the morning. When Mr.. Watson came
back from New York at night Mrs. Watson
showed him the book.
al don't want to see it. said Watson,
frowning terribly.
Why, husband?" asked his wife.
Because that rascally book agent sold
me the same book this morning Now
we've got two copies of the same book
two copies of the Early Christian Martyrs,
and"
But, husband, we can"
"No, we can't, eitherp' interrupted Mr..
Watson. The man is off ON the train be-
fore this. Confound it l could kill the
fellow, -
tWhy, there he goes to the depot now"
said Mrs. Watson, pointing out of the win
dow at the retreating form of the book
agent making for the train.
But its too late to catch him, and I'm
not dressed. I've taken off my boots,
and -"
Just then Mr.. Stevens. neighbor of Mr..
Watson drove by, when Watson pounded
on the glass in frantic manner, almost
frightening the horse.
Here, Stevens he shouted YOU'RE
hitched up; won't you run your horse
down to the train and hold that book
agent till l come? Run Catch i'm now ~
All right, said Mr. Stevens, whipping
his horse and tearing down the road.
Mr.. Stevens reached the train just as the
conductor shouted all aboard?"
Book agent" be yelled. as the book
agent stepped on to the train. Book
agent! hold on Mr.. Watson wants to see
you"
Watson? Watson wants to see me p"
repeated the seemingly puzzled book agent.
" Oh, | know what he wants-he wants to
buy one of my bucks; but can't miss the
train to sell it to him."
IF that is all he wants" said Mr.. Stew
ems, driving up to the car window, :" can
pay for it and take it back to him. How
much is it?''
1.-TWO dollars for the Early Christian
Martyrs" said the book agent, as he
reached for the money and passed the book
out through the car window.
Just then Mr. Watson arrived putting
and blowing, in his shirt sleeves. AS he
saw the train pull out he was too full for
utterance.
We'll, got it for you" said Stevens
Just got it, and that's ALL
Got what?'
1.-The book Early Christian Martyrs,

son, as he placed his hand to his brow and
fell exhausted on to a depot seat.

OUR YOUNG FOLKS.
" ONCE N-A-TIME."

Heigh-hol What frolics we might see,
If it only happened to you and me
To be born in some far off cline,
In the country of somewhere, once-on- time.
Why, once on a-time there were mountains of
gold,
And caves full ofjewels, and treasures untold;
There were birds just waiting to fly before
And, under tree, there were sure to be
A queer little woman to give you the key;
And tiny, dancing, go0d-natured elf,
To say, vi 18th his scepter, " Help yourselfv'
For millions of dollars grew from a dime
In the country of Somewhere, once-on-a-time.
If we lived in the country of Somewhere, you
Could do whatever you choose to do.
Instead of boy. with the garden to weed,
You might be a knight. with a sword and steed;
Instead of girl, with towel to hem.
/ might be Princess, with robe and gem,
With a gay little page, and harper old,
Who knows all the stories that ever were told
Stories in prose, and stories in rhyme,
That happened Somewhere, once on-a-time.
In the country of Somewhere, no one looks
At maps and blackboards and grammar books;
For all your knowledge just grows and grows,
Like the song in bird, or the sweet in the rose.
And If ever chance, on Il fortunate day,
To that wonderful region to find my way,
Why, then, if the stories are all true,
As quick as / can, I'll come for you;
And We'll row away to its happy shores,
In a silver shallop with golden oaIs.

Throughout the forest regions of the AL
leghany mountains is found the brush
fence, made from the trees and brush grow
ing on the line where the fence is con-
structed. Ever changing in appearance,
no two rods being alike, yet preserving its
identity here and there forming a pictur-
esque scene with its clumps of pokeberry,
brambles and shrubs, it is the home of
birds and squirrels, and the tempter of
breachy cows. One farmer, in construct
ing fence of this kind, had placed
crooked, hollow log at the bottom, with one
end opening into his cornfield and the
other into the woods adjoining. When the
corn was ripening he was much annoyed
by several shoats that kept entering the
field, but where they got in baffied detec-
ton, till their trail was discovered leading
to the hollow log. The log was then
turned over, so that both ends opened into
the woods. and the boys hid near by to
await the shoats' return. Granting with
satisfaction at the prospects for more deli
cious roasting ears, they soon arrived, and
the leader, followed by the rest, dove into
the log, expecting of course to emerge into
the cornfield But astonished at coming
out on the wrong side, again and again
they raced through the leg, until all, with
puzzled look, gave up the trail, and only
in such language as pigs can use. expressed
their dissatisfaction, much to the enjoy
ment of the boys-American Agric,tlt,9ist.
PETS OF THE WHITE HOUSE.
Mrs Cleveland shows decided fondness
for pets, and has in her dressing-room two
upon which she bestows much of her at
tention. The one occupying a place of
prominence is saucy-looking little canary,
who swings from tiny trapez, or hops
about his gilt cage, trilling in a most
charming manner. This little fellow, who
was Matched on the day upon which Presi-
dent Cleveland was nominated, and was
for that reason presented to him by a
friend, was established in the White House
a year or More prior to the advent of his
young mistress, for whom he shows a de-
cided preference.
The other pet, little white mouse, is
quite sleek and pretty, but is by no means
so attractive as the canary. Confined in a
wire cage, in one end of which are revolv-
ing cylinders for his amusement, and vari-
Gus contrivances for his comfort, he ignores
them ali, and spends most of the time
snugly curled up on one side of the sloping
tin roof TO which he clings in a mysterious
manner. while he passes the hours in slum-
Der profound Golden Days.
